refactoring in pharo. examples / documentation

by Peter H. Meadows

Are there any tutorials out there covering the refactoring tools in Pharo2? What I'd like to see are some real world examples of how experienced developers use the refactoring tools.

Re: [Pharo-users] inserting special character 'vector angle' symbol

by Ben Coman

Is there a way to assign the ANGLE character to a certain keyboard shortcut for the whole system ?

Re: [Pharo-users] inserting special character 'vector angle' symbol

by Ben Coman

Paul, It is for displaying from in-image for a desktop GUI. I assumed I did have a capable font installed (I could copy the ANGLE character from a web page into OpenOffice) but I could determine which font nor see the character in any of the many font tables I reviewed. Most fonts were missing the U+2220 character. Helene, It helped a lot seeing the U+2220 code in your screen snapshot. At least I could confirm that the fonts I was looking at not contain it (the Menlo font is not on Windows 7). Eventually google brought me to [1] & [2] from which choosing the system font as DejaVu allowed the following script to display the ANGLE character. ---- char := Character value: 16r2220. wideString := String with: char. wideString inspect. ---- [1] http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2220/index.htm [2] http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2220/fontsupport.htm thanks for your time, cheers -ben Paul DeBruicker wrote: > Do you have a font on your computer or better yet in Pharo that can > display it?

Re: [Pharo-users] inserting special character 'vector angle' symbol

by Paul DeBruicker

Do you have a font on your computer or better yet in Pharo that can display it? Where do you want to display it (web, image, etc) ?

inserting special character 'vector angle' symbol

by Ben Coman

I need to display electrical phasors (which are complex numbers in polar notation). This requires a special 'vector angle' symbol as shown http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_2/5.html. What are my options for displaying such a symbol? â My searching only turned up 'Character characterTable' I wondered if I can replace one of those bitmap characters with my own. I also found an online character set converter http://kanjidict.stc.cx/recode.php which converted from the character from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 "∠" but that result doesn't mean a lot to me. Hints would be greatly appreciated. cheers -ben

Re: [Pharo-users] parse iCalendar (rfc2445) recurrence rules into a Schedule?

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi paul I looked around and I found iCalendar, vCalendar and vCard I imagine that this is the one you found. And indeed Yann Monclair worked on ical.
